Description

The Ferry Boat Inn is a public house that originated as a house in the 18th century and underwent alterations in the 19th century. It is timber framed and weatherboarded, with a roof made of handmade red clay tiles and slates. The building features three bays facing west and has an external stack at each end. It stands two storeys high, with a one-bay extension to the left that has a gambrel roof and is one storey with an attic. There is a mid-19th century wing that extends forward from the junction, which has an external stack on the left side and is two storeys tall.

In the 20th century, flat-roofed single-storey extensions were added to the left front angle and behind the main range. The ground floor includes one 20th-century casement window, one splayed bay of 20th-century casements, and two late 19th-century tripartite sash windows. The first floor has two late 19th-century tripartite sashes and one sash window. A half-glazed door is located at the front of the lean-to porch. Only the roof of the front wing is slated. Inside, there is a stone slab floor in the bar to the left of the entrance. The building was shown as Ferry Farm, with 50 acres, in the tithe award of 1840 and was identified as the Ferry Boat Public House in the Ordnance Survey map of 1873, by which time it had largely taken on its current form.
